Our Philosophy

HISTORY

Since 1962, when Desco introduced its first concrete scarifier, Desco has grown to provide the largest line of surface preparation equipment on the market today. The new line of products produced by Desco range from small hand-held detail grinders to large self-contained walk-behind systems. Due to advancements in our engineering controls, Desco equipment can now be utilized for decontamination work, in addition to general surface preparation on structural steel, wood and concrete surfaces.

Concrete and Structural Steel Contractors, utility plants, the US Navy and the Air Force are just a few of the industries that have counted on Desco for their surface preparation needs. Desco is committed to being the leader in this market through the development of new products and by building upon the quality, service and performance our customers have grown to expect. At Desco, we want to earn your business!

MISSION STATEMENT

Quality: At Desco, we take pride in manufacturing the highest quality surface preparation equipment on the market today. All Desco tools are designed to be tough while providing superior performance and maximum productivity. To achieve this, we begin by choosing only the finest raw material in the production of each of our products. Because many of our products are subjected to harsh environments, all potentially corrodible components are protected through anodization, plating and/or other forms of protective coating. Furthermore, prior to shipment, all Desco products will have undergone numerous quality check points insuring product integrity and performance.

Customer Service: At Desco, we're committed to providing you with uncompromising service. Because we are the manufacturer, you can always count on receiving your materials when you need them. Furthermore, all of our products are backed by Desco field service professionals and factory-trained technicians, insuring that you, the customer, are receiving full support at all times.

Innovation: We are a specialty company; let us answer your special needs. At Desco, we take pride in our ability to respond to customers with unusual problems. In fact, many of our products have been developed as a response to customers with such special needs.

This latest development provides a unique way of cleaning cracks and was voted one of the Top Ten Products of the Year by Concrete Repair Digest.
